#2 Here's a hint from Zimbabwe - printing more paper won't necessarily make it more valuable.

#4 Gannett's was down 12%. This is an industry-wide decline due to the current economic slump. Financially-strapped companies don't have ad dollars to spend. Note that newspaper sales revenues only fell 0.5%.

#5 Financially-strapped companies don't have ad dollars to spend.

...wildly without any validation of effectiveness.

If O'man tanks after all the sale and buzz by the usual suspects, I expect a similar review of return on investment created by this environment for the MSM as a whole.

#6 When I first read this, I wasn't too concerned about the declining online ad growth.

But then I looked a LOT deeper at the data, and now I'm concerned about the long-term future of NYT and other newspaper-based online entities.

I just finished an explanatory and somewhat alarming blog post about it, with charts and graphs and such.

#8 NYT deserves every dollar they Loose!
Can you imagine they still tout themselves as a Fair Rag!

And you can't tell the Editorial Section from the Newsy Side except that the Newsy Side was even more RADICAL LEFT!

from Potemkin Village, way back....
In 1931, the New York Times correspondent Walter Duranty gave us the Potemkin village, Duranty was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1932. ...
*eeewww* *spit* *bleah*

to Whittaker Chambers "NYT does full blown denial",

the Rosenbergs "NYT does full blown denial",

Kennedy Clan especially John F.
NYT does Camelot in the Maximum Supine position and to this day remains enthralled with the Kennedy Clan.

NYT,
Cuba worship, with a full blown Homo-erotic Love Affair with Fidel Castro.
*eeewww* *spit* *bleah*

Vietnam,
NYT Does a Back Stabbing for over 10 years; CoxSuckers! They Betrayed every USA Serviceman and Servicewoman in uniform.

WaterGate:
Re-Manufactured that political Shenanigan into a Capital Crime against America.
The NYT Hate for Nixon knows no bounds, just like their opposite LOVE for the Kennedy's.

NYT hated Ronald Reagan,
and of course they hated Reagan kicking Castro out of Grenada.

And Panama, NYT didn't approve of RR dislodging that maniac Noriega..

Clarence Thomas:
actively campaigned against him.

ETC. ETC. ETC.

And "All the News Thats Fit to Print" *SPIT*

#9 "All the news that's fit to print"
LIKE HELL
"All the news we can twist to OUR ends" is a helluva lot more accurate.

#10 Interesting post, Jason. The Taz comment as well. The thing is, the New York Times and other major newspapers have been trending strongly downward for years now such that, if I recall the numbers correctly, the value of the New York Times conglomerate some months ago had sunk to the value of the properties it holds, not even including the value of equipment. Not good, especially given the recent fall in property values accompanying the current mortgage crisis. Clearly you're much better at matters financial than I; would you be kind enough to see if my understanding is anything close to correct?
